An aggregated Layer 3, EVM-compatible zkRollup built with zkSync’s ZK Stack that unifies liquidity across Ethereum L2s for low-cost, fast, secure interoperability.
zkLink Nova is an Ethereum-secured unified ZK rollup (built with zkSync’s ZK Stack) that lets developers deploy once to access users and liquidity from multiple L1/L2 ecosystems, with gas paid in ETH on mainnet. Primary use cases include cross-chain DEXs/perpetuals and omni-chain DeFi/NFT apps that need shared liquidity; typical performance delivers cents-level average gas costs, ~2–5s block times, and high throughput (hundreds+ TPS with peaks in the thousands), with active mainnet usage across trading and bridging.
zkLink Nova stands out by natively aggregating assets and order flow from many chains into a single state, enabling unified liquidity, fewer bridging steps, and lower effective slippage—while proofs are verified and settled on Ethereum. Compared to standard single-chain L2s, Nova combines L2-class performance (sub-$0.05 average fees, seconds-level blocks, and 100s–1000s TPS) with built-in multi-chain interoperability and account abstraction via the zkSync/ZK Stack ecosystem.
zkLink Nova uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge ETH to zkLink Nova, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select zkLink Nova as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on zkLink Nova you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add zkLink Nova to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send ETH on zkLink Nova, ensure your wallet is connected to the zkLink Nova network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
